Guest Laser_iCE Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 it uses a GPS receiver, normally via bluetooth or, some of the new devices have GPS built in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sparkymodaco Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Suprisingly tomtom have a website that explains the basics. You can find it at www.tomtom.com Get ready for a steep learning curve, I think you may find sat nav a challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mcwarre Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Look at the tomtom website it will tell you. :) You need the software and a gps receiver. The phone connects to the gps receiver and, once the gps receiver is locked onto the satelite, it knows where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 It's all done by Majik. There's this wizard called Mr Tom (first name Tom) who know's where everyone is. The software is just there so you can receive the signals he sends by majik to your phone. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest killerost Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) If i were you i would use another software as tomtom are worthless , the customers support sucks , my wife bought an updated map for her tomtom go and it was older than the version she had and tomtom wont refund the money , my tip is dont buy tomtom the company sucks :) Why would anyone buy a older version of a map? :D I mean.. if you're smart enough to know about map updates, you should be smart enough to know about version numbers too? :D Just messing with you.. when a company sells an upgrade for a device like tomtom one, or any other device which are meant for a broad range of users from non-technical to experts, they should make sure that the end user actually needs the update they are selling! :P Edited December 10, 2006 by killerost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
